I have pursued a career in Systems Analysis and Technical Computing since graduating as a mature student in 1984.
I have been fortunate in being involved in several projects from the initial "blank piece of paper" design stage all
the way through to the final handover to the client. Each project's journey has encompassed the full set of
software life cycle activities of specification, design and test. I have a particular interest in the design of
maintainable source code and am a proponent of open source technologies. In 1995 I returned in my spare time to
academic pursuits, initially with the Open University and then with the University of Glasgow. I was awarded a PhD in Statistics in August 2014.
